Chapter 3 Regaining Resource Boxes
Qi Yuan put the "flower garden" and "healing potion making scroll" back in the wooden house, and also put the resource box back.
Because I picked up the bronze resource box right after I left the house, it was located not far from the wooden house, so I sent it back directly.
Qi Yuan once again brought the stone ax and the newly obtained iron pickaxe, and still planned to go to the north to have a look.
After all, I got lucky just as I left the house and picked up a bronze resource box.
This makes Qi Yuan feel that if he chooses the north, he will definitely have good luck!
…………
On the north side, there are also endless weeds that grow extremely lush.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but frown and thought: The resources nearby seem a bit scarce.
Apart from weeds or weeds, there are at most a few trees, and no other resources can be found at all.
I don't know if everyone is like this, or if Qi Yuan is just unlucky and happened to be born in a poor place.
"If you have the opportunity in the future, you must live in a place rich in resources." Qi Yuan thought as he walked.
I just don’t know if the location of the wooden house can be changed in the future.
Not long after, Qi Yuan reached the junction of 300 meters.
Wisps of mist floated in the air, revealing a sense of mystery.
This is Qi Yuan’s first time in the mist area.
The place where the trees were cut down before was only in the mist area close to 300 meters.
Standing in front of the mist area, Qi Yuan fell into thinking.
To enter or not to enter?
It is not absolutely safe in the mist area. There may be dangers hidden in it, but they are not as serious as those in the dense fog area.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuan walked in anyway.
The range of 300 meters is too small and cannot meet the needs of life at all.
What's more, the surrounding area is so barren that there is even less to harvest.
Therefore, entering the mist area is inevitable.
Taking risks also means greater gains.
Just need to be more careful!
In just a few steps, Qi Yuan achieved his first harvest.
Stone!
Just 100 meters into the mist area, there were a lot of rocks scattered, some large and some small.
As a basic resource, the importance of stone cannot be overemphasized.
At the same time, stones are also an essential resource for upgrading wooden houses.
This also made Qi Yuan feel relieved. With this stone resource, it would be a matter of time to upgrade the wooden house.
After writing down the location of the stone area, Qi Yuan continued on the road.
Qi Yuan was extra cautious in the mist area, causing his forward speed to slow down significantly.
The surrounding fog was heavy and the air was very humid.
Before long, the sweatshirt and trousers were covered with dew, making them very uncomfortable to wear.
Suppressing his physical discomfort, Qi Yuan moved forward cautiously in the mist.
Although there was no danger along the way, he still did not relax his vigilance.
After walking for nearly 1,000 meters, I found no special resources, except weeds and trees.
Looking at the front, there is still a vast expanse of white, and behind there is also a vast expanse of white mist.
Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment and stopped moving forward.
Although there is no danger in the mist area, the visibility is too low and it is very easy to lose the road.
Once you can't find your way back and are far away from the shelter cabin, you can only wait to die in the fog.
Another thing is time!
Two hours have passed now, and there are still four hours of daylight left.
Even if you can't find food and water, you should make full use of your time and chop as much wood and stone as possible.
When the time comes, you can return to the cabin and exchange for other survival resources on the trading platform.
Wandering aimlessly like this is such a waste of time these days.
…
After completing the exploration plan, Qi Yuan returned to the stone mine area.
Take out a good level iron pickaxe and start a boring mining career.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
A good-grade iron pickaxe is very efficient. It is much easier than cutting down trees. It can harvest one unit of stone in a few minutes.
However, mining stones also consumes more energy, and it didn't take long for Qi Yuan's hands to feel sore.
There is a big difference between stone and wood.
The backlash of stone is extremely large, and often a period of rest is required after mining more than a dozen units.
It took Qi Yuan three and a half hours to mine a total of 163 stones.
This is still the case when using high-quality manuscripts, and the efficiency of others can be imagined.
What's more, at present, others have no manuscripts at all.
I can only use a novice stone ax to chop down the tree with great difficulty.
After wielding a pickaxe for more than three hours, Qi Yuan's hands were shaking with exhaustion and his whole body felt sore and backache.
At the same time, hunger and thirst have hit, impacting the already exhausted body and spirit.
"I need to exercise more, otherwise my body will be really overwhelmed! The otaku life is hurting me!" Qi Yuan sighed, covering his waist.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the night, and the sky was already starting to become dark.
Even the surrounding fog became thicker.
The vast sky was shrouded in thick clouds, and the atmosphere of the entire foggy world became depressing.
In the foggy air, the temperature dropped rapidly as the humidity increased, down to 0°C.
Today's temperature has dropped significantly compared to yesterday.
The cold snap is approaching!
Knowing that it was not a good time to stay outside for a long time, Qi Yuan forced himself to support his tired body and planned to move the stones back to the wooden house first.
The current atmosphere already made Qi Yuan feel a little scared and worried.
It would be safer to return to the cabin as soon as possible.
Qi Yuan used the bronze resource box he obtained before to transport the stones, which was more convenient and faster.
Put the stone into the resource box and drag it back directly.
It took 4 moves to transport all the stones back to the wooden house.
The stone mine is 400 meters away from the wooden house, not too far nor too close.
Qi Yuan hurriedly hurriedly managed to drag all the stones back within half an hour. He almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Carrying the last box of stones, Qi Yuan hurried to the wooden house.
The darkening sky was like a big curtain, covering the entire misty world.
Only the light of the wooden house gives people a sense of peace of mind.
Just then, there was a "bang"!
Qi Yuan tripped over something.
"What's going on? I remember that there shouldn't be anything here? Did I go the wrong way?" Qi Yuan thought as he rubbed his waist and couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.
But when I saw the lights not far away, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yuan looked down curiously to see what he had tripped over just now.
"Holy shit! Resource box?!!"
Qi Yuan rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.
There was a wooden box on the ground, which was kicked over and turned over.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that a resource box would be delivered to my door while walking on the road!" Qi Yuan laughed excitedly.
Seeing that the sky is getting dark, the daylight hours are about to pass.
Qi Yuan picked up the wooden resource box and stones and ran back to the wooden house.
Finally, we returned to the cabin before it completely darkened.
The oil lamp in the wooden house is still on, and the faint orange light brings a warm feeling.
This oil lamp is amazing. Even without adding kerosene, it can keep burning. It has been burning since last night.
A small flame is like hope in the dark night, weak but never extinguished... just like the people struggling to survive in the foggy world today!
"call…"
Qi Yuan, who was exhausted, lay on the floor without caring about his appearance, breathing heavily.
But the face was full of joy.
"I was lamenting that I couldn't find any food, and was worried that I would have to go to bed hungry tonight, but I turned around and picked up another resource box!" Qi Yuan said with emotion.
Although the items in the bronze resource box were very good, I did not get food after all.
Qi Yuan didn't believe that there was no such resource box.
If not...if not, then not!
At worst, go to the trading platform to change.
Qi Yuan didn't believe that everyone was so lucky to be able to pick up two boxes when he went out.
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Qi Yuan opened it without hesitation.
This is just like dismantling express delivery. How can you not dismantle it after you get it?
Unlike the bronze resource box, which is filled with green light, the wooden resource box does not have any "special effects" and can be opened directly.
"It is indeed the lowest level resource box, and the pomp is indeed a bit low!"
Without thinking much, Qi Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted to the contents of the resource box.
The same three items.
A bottle of water and two balls of light.
Qi Yuan picked up the mineral water and drank half the bottle in one go.
From last night to now, it has been nearly 20 hours without drinking water.
After doing physical work for another six hours during the day, I was really thirsty and was already severely dehydrated.
After drinking half a bottle of mineral water, I finally felt like I had survived.
After shaking the remaining half bottle of mineral water, Qi Yuan hid it without hesitation.
In the absence of fresh water sources, water conservation is essential.
After all, Qi Yuan didn't know when he would get another bottle of mineral water.
Are you betting that you can still pick up a resource box tomorrow?
There happens to be another bottle of water in the resource box?
This is so unrealistic.
Tonight is a night of hunger for most people.
Only a handful of people harvested some food to barely satisfy their hunger.
There are also a few people whose wooden houses happen to be near water sources.
But after all, only a few people are lucky.
Qi Yuan also opened the remaining two light balls without ceremony.
One blanket and twenty pieces of wood respectively.
The blanket doesn't look thick, but it has a good warmth retention effect.
Qi Yuan directly put the blanket on his body and felt much warmer instantly.
Qi originally wore only a t-shirt and a jacket, which were autumn-appropriate clothes.
It's okay to wear during the day, but it gets very cold at night. This blanket is a real help in times of need.
Twenty pieces of wood were nothing special, piled together with the wood collected during the day.
After a day of hard work, there are now many more items in the wooden house.
First, in the corner near the window, on the right side of the wooden house, there are 163 stones and 38 wood stacked.
Next to it is a flower bed one meter long, 0.5 meters wide and 0.5 meters high.
But the garden was still empty.
Next to the flower bed, there are two boxes.
One is a bronze resource box and the other is a wooden resource box.
After the two resource boxes were opened, Qi Yuan used them as storage boxes.
In fact, resource boxes can be recycled, bronze resource boxes can be recycled into 5 units of bronze, and wooden resource boxes can be recycled into 5 units of wood.
But for now, boxes are clearly more useful.
It’s not too late to recycle it later.
The bronze box at this time was used to store tools, including stone axes and iron picks.
The wooden box was also used as a pillow by Qi Yuan and placed behind his back.
Qi Yuan lay on the straw mat, covered with a cashmere blanket, and his simple living conditions instantly became much happier.
"Gulu gulu..."
My stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Qi Yuan rubbed his belly helplessly: "I didn't expect that the surrounding area was so barren, and I couldn't find any food... I wonder if there is any food that can be exchanged on the trading platform..."
